Let’s celebrate the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem! 🌿 Mangrove ecosystems are vital for protecting communities from rising tides, providing opportunities for local fishing, and being an important form of blue carbon. Mangroves can store up to four times as much carbon in their sediments as rainforests.    However, 35% of the world’s mangroves have disappeared since 1980. Restoration and conservation efforts, in part aided by awareness from today’s celebration, have led to a 0.04% rate of loss per year over the last decade. This provides hope for the future of the hardy and adaptable mangrove forest, but sustained commitment over time is needed to prevent its many threats.    We talked to Nirmal Beura from ClimatePartner Impact, an expert in blue carbon mangrove restoration about the importance of mangroves. Read our interview and find out what mangroves are and why they’re special, how they degraded over time, what they mean to the communities relying on them, and Nirmal’s adventures in attempting to measure deep inside their dense forests. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXPDyuzY #MangroveEcosystemConservation #MangroveDay #climateaction #ClimatePartner

Erleben, erfahren, erhalten – unsere Fahrradexkursion im Naturpark Karwendel 🚴♂️ Vergangene Woche durften zwei unserer Kolleg:innen gemeinsam mit dem engagierten Team des Naturparks Karwendel, lokalen Politikern und Pressevertreter:innen, die Spirkenwälder in Österreichs größtem Naturpark erkunden. Bei traumhaftem Wetter erfuhren sie aus erster Hand, wie bedeutend der Erhalt der Spirkenwälder für die Biodiversität ist. Geschäftsführer Anton Heufelder, Landesrat René Zumtobel und Bürgermeister Christian Ihrenberger erklärten, dass sie wertvoller Lebensraum für zahlreiche Pflanzen und Tiere sind und wesentlich zum europäischen Naturerbe beitragen.     Dank der langjährigen Partnerschaft mit dem Naturpark Karwendel können unsere Kunden zum Erhalt dieses Ökosystems beitragen – durch die Wiedervernässung von Mooren, die Pflege der Almvegetation und den Schutz der Spirkenwälder.      Wir bedanken uns bei Anton Heufelder für die tolle Organisation und die spannenden Einblicke. 🌍💚 #Spirkenwald #NaturParkKarwendel #Naturschutz #ClimatePartner #Klimaschutz 

Powering prosperity with renewable energy 💡 Welcome to Virunga National Park, Africa's oldest and most biodiverse park on the eastern border of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is home to the world's last remaining wild mountain gorillas and other endangered species. 🦍    ⚡ On this border our project of the month is located: a run-of-river hydroelectric plant that harnesses the Rutshuru River's currents for renewable energy. With a capacity of around 13 megawatts, the plant generates clean electricity for homes and small businesses, providing access to around four million people. 💡 Additional benefits include improved safety and security after dark due to better street lighting, and new jobs created by business opportunities. Through responsible economic development, our project contributes to greater stability and peace in the region.    Read more about the benefits of this project and how it reduces carbon emissions:  👉 https://lnkd.in/exGse9am #projectofthemonth #hydropower #climateaction #ClimatePartner

CSRD and ESRS: How will your business be affected? 🤓 With the EU’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), carbon data becomes a crucial reporting element for companies.  Phasing in from 2024, affected companies will now have to report against the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.    Learn whether your company has a CSRD obligation and what you need to consider for your non-financial reporting.    Download our e-book now  👇 English: https://lnkd.in/diFA9wQU   German: https://lnkd.in/dS9xvcJR #CSRD #ESRS #climateaction #ClimatePartner

What are scope 4 emissions? 🤔 While scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are widely understood, scope 4 remains lesser-known. Let's shed some light on it! 💡    Scope 4 emissions, often referred to as avoided emissions, are indirect emissions of a company. The decisive factor for scope 4 is the use of a more efficient product or service by a third party.  For example, if end-users use a low-temperature laundry detergent, instead of a product that requires higher temperatures and therefore more energy, they save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These emission savings could be reported under the washing machine manufacturer's scope 4.    Learn more about scope 4 emissions in our climate action glossary 👇 English: https://lnkd.in/dCAfTziQ  German: https://lnkd.in/dkz9XQXr #scope4 #climateaction #ClimatePartner  

20 years of corporate climate action: Let’s celebrate! 🍾 ClimatePartner had reason to celebrate last month: May marked 20 years since the founding of Sustainable Partner, the parent company of ClimatePartner GmbH. Back in 2004, still 14 years before Greta Thunberg would be sitting outside the Riksdagshuset, our founder Moritz Lehmkuhl recognised the great importance of companies being able to contribute to climate action. Since then, a lot has changed, but we have maintained our focus on helping companies throughout their climate action journeys.    Read more about where ClimatePartner came from and what the future holds in our latest climate action insight. 👇 English:  https://lnkd.in/djp68jnX German: https://lnkd.in/ddxDHdh6 #anniversary #climateaction #ClimatePartner  

Powering not only homes but also health, education, and economic growth in Togo – get to know our project of the month!   This solar power plant is one of the largest in West Africa and helps to make the country less reliant on fuel imports. The project provides clean electricity to nearly 160,000 homes and businesses and impacts the lives of the local people in many positive ways:   🏥 Healthcare: A new clinic in Blitta serves more than 700 patients annually, improving local health services. 📚 Education: The project has built three primary schools, giving 750 children access to quality education every year. 💼 Employment: The project creates jobs for the operations and maintenance of the power plant and fosters economic growth in the region.   The Blitta solar power plant project is developed by our local partner EMEA with technical support from ClimatePartner Impact.   Find out more about the co-benefits of this project and how it reduces carbon emissions: 👉 https://bit.ly/4b3ZPvc #climateaction #ClimatePartner #projectofthemonth #solar
